Hello,

I had the same problem on my laptop :
Partition 1 : Windows XP
Partition 2/3/4 : Ubuntu 8.xx

The installer didn't find any partition at all.

Using Ubuntu as a live CD and fdisk tool, i've seen that the partition table 
was incorrect:
- Too many cylinder count
- Partition overlap

To correct this i simply had to delete the linux partition using fdisk and 
write the new partition table on the disk.
Then after reboot, the installer was able to see the partitions correctly.

For me it looks like this is not a bug... maybe the installer could report the 
problems seen with fdisk to prevent any misunderstanding of the situation.
